Online author chats

Since requests for physcial author appearances are down a bit, I decided to try my hand at setting up online author chats. A bunch of authors I contacted agreed to do them, and I've added them to www.BalkinBuddies.com. If any publishers are reading this, I invite you to send authors my way who are interested in doing online author chats, as I plan on promoting this new service at the ALA in Chicago this July. Authors and artists who are interested would need (a) a Mac or a PC with a camera and mic, (b) their own website, and (c) to be willing to put Balkin Buddies on their website as the contact for arranging an online chat Contact me at telephone 718 857 7605 to discuss fees.

This is the new Balkin Buddies Blog

Welcome to my blog. I created it mostly for professional reasons, but I'll probably add some personal things later on as well. I'm also on Facebook, My Space, Praxo and LinkedIn. And, of course, my business has a website as well. So you can see I'm all over cyberspace. If you're a teacher, librarian, or a children's book author, illustrator, editor, or marketing person, you've probably seen me take up physical space too at conferences (ALA, NCTE, ALAN, the occasional BEA, and a few others). I hope you enjoy the blog and also check out the authors and artists I represent on www.BalkinBuddies.com.
